A recent Twitter storm has erupted around Victor Wanyama, the former Tottenham midfielder, over his denial of fathering musician Bahati’s adopted son, Morgan Bahati.
The online debate gained traction as a significant portion of Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) speculated that the young boy might be the biological child of Wanyama and Bahati’s wife, Diana Marua.
A photograph from the past resurfaced, depicting Wanyama and Diana together in a car. Many netizens interpreted this as evidence of prior romantic involvement between the footballer and Diana, suggesting that their liaison could have led to the birth of Morgan before he was later adopted by Bahati.
Reacting to a tweet by Wesley Kibande, who juxtaposed images of Bahati and Diana with their three biological children alongside photos of Wanyama, KRG the Don, and Abel Mutua, all purportedly as fathers, Victor Wanyama expressed his frustration, stating, “This foolishness needs to stop now!”
The debate escalated further as netizens shared contrasting viewpoints. Some, like Twitter user Kuria Chronicles, asserted that no matter how many DNA tests were conducted, the child bore a striking resemblance to Victor Wanyama.
This sentiment was echoed by numerous supporters.
However, others urged restraint and empathy. Rameshed Saxena tweeted a plea for compassion towards Bahati’s children, emphasizing that while the resemblance was striking, the situation was taking a toll on the family.
The social media frenzy highlights the power and impact of online speculation, especially when it involves public figures. As the debate continues, it serves as a reminder of the complexities of personal matters in the age of digital connectivity.
